    Wait a second! Most (if not all) factory and aftermarket wheels are powdercoated! But you are saying this product could damage powdercoating on brake parts. Huh?

Powdercoated parts may well be stained by the product, and anodized parts will certainly suffer. This caution is called out on the bottle, so be aware of the other parts lurking behind your wheels before spraying this on.
    I have a friend who learned this the hard way. Ouch!

    It's highly effective at cleaning road grime and tire dressings off the sidewall, but it may not do quite the same job on white walls or raised white letters as Westleys - I don't know that we really targeted that product with All Wheel & Tire Cleaner. But AW&TC is also great for cleaning factory wheels, not just the tires.

    Those pictures are pretty impressive. I need to pick up a bottle of this for my extra special details. APC+ and Super Degreaser work so well on tires I can't see using it every time, but one extra dirty tires this seems to be like magic.

    Another goal for Meguiars and another product sold to me.. whenever I will finish my "regular" all wheel cleaner.. that is pretty amazing too.. What I like of this new product? Of course is nice that you can clean the tyre wall also but.. what I appreciate is the increased foaming action.. I think that this will help to clean more and with using less product. I'm not sure about a thing.. should I wet the rim and the tyre before spray this or just spray and only later rinse?

    Well, it's not a dressing at all so the tire won't look as black as it might following even the most basic of water based dressings. Dull and gray doesn't sound all that pretty but in all honesty, the tire is going to be closer to that than to dressed black. But it will be nicely cleaned and ready to better accept any dressing you wish to use, whether that's a basic water based dressing like M40 or HyperDressing, or something like the gels in the Endurance or Hot Shine lines.
